; FOTD -- February 10, 2012 (Rating 8)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; I named today's image "Decimal Elephants" because it lies in the 
; East Valley of a Mandelbrot set corrupted in its depths by Z^10 
; energies.  The exact location is in the 'star' on the rump of 
; the period-19 elephant on the southern shore line of the valley.
; 
; I put enough effort into smoothing the colors to reward myself a 
; bonus of a full point, raising an otherwise humdrum 7-rated 
; image to one with a rating of a pretty good 8.
; 
; The only trick in the image is the passes=b option, which is the 
; fastest with this particular image.  This option doesn't always 
; work correctly, but when it does, it works great.  It cut 
; today's calculation time from a slow 4-1/2 minutes to a much 
; speedier 2-3/4 minutes.
; 
; Avoid all concern about calculation speed by viewing the image 
; already calculated on the official FOTD web site at:
; 
;       <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html>
; 
; View it in stunning high-definition at:
; 
; <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html>
; 
; And remember the original FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/>
; 
; which has the entire FOTD image history posted.
; 
; Uneventful conditions prevailed here at Fractal Central today, 
; with cloudy skies and a temperature of 41F +5C.  Things are 
; expected to become more active tonight however, when snow is 
; expected.  The fractal cats complained briefly about the lack of 
; sun, then took up residence by the heat for the rest of the day.
; 
; FL and I had an average day, which might seem boring to 
; youngsters, but is exciting enough for those who have grown 
; beyond the youngster stage.  The next FOTD is due in 24 hours.  
; Since tomorrow will be a Saturday, there is a chance it could be 
; late.  Until whenever, take care, and Athiests are right when 
; they point out the harm religion has done over the centuries.  
; But what would we replace it with?  A universal rational view of 
; the world would fail miserably.
